From the Inaugural Address
October 21, 2011
I feel as excited on becoming the President of Tufts as when I embarked on the journeys that led to my most significant scientific discoveries.
In that work, I was able to build on the knowledge of the past. In the work that now lies before me, and all of us at Tufts, I start from the foundation of excellence that has been built here over the past century and a half.
Today, we have the chance to use the broad and unique talents of this university to address the problems of our times with creativity and courage, and, in the process, to reimagine ourselves and our society.
I am inspired by the opportunities that lie ahead. I am dedicated to making this great university even greater. And I am confident that the light that is Tufts will continue to shine brightly, here and throughout the world.
